title: [Lactose intolerance. Genotyping simplifies and improves diagnosis].
abstract: The molecular genetics of adult-type hypolactasia is reviewed. Genotyping for the LCT-13910C>T polymorphism as a standard first-stage diagnostic approach for the diagnosis of adult-type hypolactasia and a replacement of the lactose tolerance test is suggested.
